Capacitor: .047 vs .05 for bass tone

[nelcatjar]

I'm doing a standard P-J bass wiring (see link to schematic below) which calls for a capacitor value of .05
What would be the difference if I used a .047 capacitor instead? Seems like such a minute difference?
I'm using using Basslines SJB-3 and SPB-3 pickups.

Also, what is the difference in using ceramic verses electrolytic capacitors?

Absolutely none. Thats far beyond the normal tolerance for such a cap. Your .05 might be .04 and your .047 might be .056. (+/- 20% typical.)

Don't use an electrolytic. Thats a polarized cap. You'll be feeding it AC.

I don't think anyone would really hear a diff between the two. Lew
